The House that Jack Built
The House That Jack Built
By Unknown
“The House that Jack Built” is a standard of juvenile literature that delights
children and adults alike with the increasingly lengthy sentences, stretched
to the breaking point, that make up its narrative. Through a chain of
events, beginning with a rodent eating some grain and culminating in a
festive wedding, children learn that playing with grammar can be fun!
